<p>[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2443644, member: 1892"]Not to mention "effective" aperture changes with increased magnification as well, pushing you closer to DLA. Effective Aperture is Aperture * (1 + Magnification) so that if you're using 0.5x magnification and set aperture at f/8 on the lens, you're actually getting 8(1+.5)=f/12. And you're into diffraction. At 1x mag, like you'd use for a Dime or Cent, you'd be at f/16.</p><p><br /></p><p>And it's unlikely you can get the whole face of a coin into sharp depth-of-field with apertures wider than f/5.6....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
